Yes, as soon as we get down to chemistry I think we're on to a loser, because Glorantha *isn't* the same as the RW. We'd better assume that "the red stuff in blood" is nothing to do with any Rune Metals.
It's red, it makes you stronger, if you want to include just a bit of biochemistry I believe its purpose is to absorb oxygen - got to be something to do with Storm...
No, don't bring the Lunars into this, whatever this mythic connection is, it's been around since long before the Red Moon rose. And anyway I have a vague idea that the dull orange that's "currently" the Storm colour was originally a much brighter red, before someone changed things - anyone remind me what I'm thinking of or getting wrong here?
Though I have a nasty suspicion that there's no nice easy mythic connection to deal with here, and we'll have to take the discussion to the Glorantha list, and come back later with any answers.
